Pediatric antiretroviral therapy
Copyright policy )Pediatric antiretroviral therapy
The rate of perinatal HIV transmission has decreased significantly in developed countries. However, worldwide, it remains the main source of HIV infection within the pediatric population. Recent advances as a result of findings from clinical trials, viral resistance testing and the advent of new drugs have increased the options for initial treatment regimens. This article provides an overview of antiretroviral therapy in treatment-naive children, including recent pediatric data and updated guidelines from the NIH. It also provides information on new drugs approved for the pediatric age group, dosage information, drug resistance testing and monitoring suggestions for children and adolescents receiving antiretroviral therapy. Special issues pertaining to adherence, disclosure and contraception are also highlighted.
